Dev Box - Keeps my garage worm in Winter.
1 Apple Mac Mini (PPC) - Fedora Core

The two laptops enable me to have a luggable develoment system when I go
on Customer visits.
Bear in mind that I am a professional Software Developer who works from
home. (I have been working for the last year on the extension to the
London Congestion Charging System.)
The Dell SC1420;s are interesting. The run RHEL, SUSE, Knoppix and
Fedora Core without problem. They refuse to correctly load Ubuntu at all
(X does not start). I think I might set one up at the next meeting and
issue a "Get Ubuntu working on this system). Note that Ubuntu works in a
VMWare environment on this system. The graphics card is an ordinary
Nvidia 5200 which is not exactly exotic.
